You will be visiting Little Creek Hundred -
Sussex. This land was part of Somerset County MD until 1774. Little
Creek Hundred is in the southeastern corner of Delaware. A
Mason-Dixon Monument can be found at the corner of the State of
Delaware. Delaware’s 4th cache, Mason-Dixon-A3 (GC2DC) is
near this marker.
For the 1st stop of this cache you are going to St Mark’s
Episcopal Church. One name that you may think of when you think of
churches and religion is Mary, perhaps Mary Magdelene. You
won’t find Mary Magdelene’s grave here but you will
find the tombstone of Mary M. (the listed coords)and nearby a St.
Mark's sign. Answer the following questions and do the math to
determine the final coords.
Final coords are N 38° 2K.LDM W 075° 4N.A0P
What month did Mary M. die? (January =1 1, February = 2, etc)
Answer = A What year did Mary M. die? Answer = BCDE

K = B + C
L = C - G
M = J - H
N = (A + D) - (E + H)
P = A + H
The final cache is near another local church, Mt Nebo United
Methodist Church in Columbia, DE.
